    I'm still a newbie at this Cosmos stuff, so I hope my questions aren't too
    lame...
    Is it possible to transfer the mesh from one study to the next, within the
    same assembly?
    How do you find the resultant forces at the fixed base of a structure?
    Is there a way to click on different vertices of a model to fine local node
    displacement, or is it even possible to setup the colour scale to represent
    a given displacement i.e., .010" displacement is always red regardless of
    the overall displacement.
    I'm curious if I am the only one that finds the pictorial representations a
    bit clumsy in Cosmos.
    Even my old dated Algor had circular arrows that shows direction of moments.
    I tried using remote loads, but there is absolutely no feedback that shows
    where the load is in space. All it would take is a - instead of a + inputing
    coordinates and your numbers are out to lunch. I've resorted to modeling
    rigid members instead.
    I guess my questions turned into a rant... sorry about that.

    I get a flag tellin me "database not found" every time I start a new study
    then right click mesh and display it.
    Is there a save mesh command somewhere?

    As it turns out... on my machine anyway.
    When you add a new study, even if you didn't change the model between
    meshing the first study and creating the next, you need to remesh the model.
    After the studies are inplace and you modify the model you only need to
    remeash once for all the studies.

    Nope, I have to take what I said back.
    I have to re-mesh for every study individually if I modify the part, It's
    pulling up the old meshed part when I run the study without re-meshing.
    Please tell me that it's a setup thing. I've found that I can save the mesh
    but I still haven't found where to import a mesh.
